It definitely was. I was poking fun(lamely) at the Tao, because he mentioned it as being "key" when really, he would have scored whether or not he'd taken third on Rolen's hit. Of course, you could also say that if he hadn't taken third, Lind wouldn't have been walked, and therefore a DP would have been in order...except then you could also say that it took the bat out of the best hitter's hands...but then again having the bases loaded is better than 2 guys on...I'm confused now.Brendanhttp://home.okbluejays.com/?cat=13noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484762138483195409.post-64217775706522013902009-06-17T14:00:06.920-04:002009-06-17T14:00:06.920-04:00Brendan: Vernon wasn't on the move on that 3-2...Brendan: Vernon wasn't on the move on that 3-2 pitch to Rolen.

Who the hell cares if they let you or not, you still took it, and if you were slow like a catcher or Millar they wouldn't let you take it as easy because even if you get a jump your only half way down the line.<br /><br />Rolen Made the Phillies pitchers thrown 37 pitches last night. At the time just after his last at bat they had thrown 197. So basically up to that point he was responsible for them throwing approx 18.5% of their pitches.
